Acute renal failure in the llama (Lama glama).

Abstract

This clinical report describes 2 cases of acute renal failure in the llama (Lama glama). Both llamas presented with histories of administration of potentially nephrotoxic agents prior to hospitalization. It is suggested that renal function be carefully monitored in all llamas treated with nephrotoxic agents, especially when history or clinical signs indicate increased risk for renal failure.
